The image of John Candy on the right was scanned from a media kit for the SCTV series and is now part of The Northern Stars Collection.
Life for John Franklin Candy began on Halloween, October 31, 1950 in Toronto, Ontario. Five short years later his father, Sidney, had a heart attack and died. He was just 35-years-old. Despite the loss, from all accounts Candy's early years were fairly normal. There is little to suggest that he would become an actor, let alone a major talent on both the little screen, and the big screen.
